I did
Does UCI contact you to say that they’ve received your updates?

When was your interview?

Did anyone else's Kira Assessment freeze on them? The whole platform was kinda just messy, even with good connection. Interviewed today btw!
I had the same issue. I contacted admissions afterwards and was told not to worry and that it happened to a lot of people.
I also had the same issue and I had to refresh multiple times but I didn't think to let admissions know.... Would that make a negative impact on my app?
During my interview, they informed me that we should receive our results in 6-8 weeks. This is the 8th week for me and I'm getting anxious, although I'm pretty sure it will be a R haha. Anyone else with me?
I interviewed 2/7 which makes it 5 weeks for me but I was told I'd hear back around the end of March. Since we haven't heard anyone else getting A's recently I feel like they're just going to do one last round of acceptances that includes the 4/11 interviews. That's just a hypothesis though.
Yeah I agree. All of us who haven't heard back yet are in consideration for last acceptances, especially since 4/15 is coming up tomorrow. We should def expect to hear back by tomorrow it seems like. Good luck to all of us!
Same 🙁 I wasn’t expecting an A, but it still hurts… guess I won’t be going to a CA school
Took a look at last year’s page and only two ppl on that were accepted off WL ;_; and the earliest one was first week of May
A current student on this forum also said UCI has v low WL movement

I really hope so too!!! I'm even taking a class for my prerequisite so it would be an extra bummer haha.
Aw man, sorry to hear that bud... Idk if it's just me but I feel so much worse about post-II Rs than pre-II Rs

Have any of you seen this/ have thoughts about it https://students-residents.aamc.org/media/7056/download
Yup! I think some folks earlier in the thread discussed it and the general consensus was that this number is unfortunately v inflated haha, confirmed by current students

Do they do silent rejections? No ii, rejection, or anything….

darn. is it true then that the alternate list is the same as the waitlist? threads from previous years mention that all students post interview that weren't immediately accepted were placed on alternate list and that there was a difference
Oh I didn’t know there was discussion about alternate list vs wait list! Just assumed they were the same thing haha. Where did you see that?
Congratulations! Do you mind sharing your stats?
Thank you! I'm actually a reapplicant, 517 MCAT and 3.9 GPA.
Just withdrew my acceptance. Hope someone on the WL gets a spot soon!
Finally got that pre-II R last night

Withdrew this morning. Hoping it goes to one of y’all!
Any movement?
UCI had really low movement according to last year's thread. I wonder if they just accept a ton of students and don't have to pull that many from the WL?
How are the WL folks doing?
Same 🙁 I wish there was a bit more transparency about the WL process because the AAMC data makes it seem like there's a decent chance of getting off, but there's been no movement.
Nope
I haven't either. I guess they over-accepted and don't need to pull people off their WL lol. If that's the case can they start sending Rs to people on the WL so I don't have a heart attack everytime an email comes haha
So, I got this email Saturday 5/7. I was never expecting this but I did the KIRA assessment yesterday (albeit not my best). Also, if you were invited to do KIRA, does that mean you're automatically invited to do an interview? Or is KIRA another step where they can decide to reject you before choosing you to interview with them?

I thought that KIRA was one part of the interview, so I would assume the second part of the interview would come naturally. However, the timing on this is very very weird. I've never heard of an interview being offered so late in the cycle. Do you have any idea why UCI is doing this to you?
There are lots of current students in the facebook group.
I am losing hope, do you think there will be any movement this cycle? Wondering if anyone called to see if there has been any acceptances off the waitlist.
Same^ although I think we’re pretty much at a loss here 🙁 it looks like they’ve even reached out to people who haven’t been interviewed yet so maybe they just don’t like any of the ppl on the waitlist?
